Miss Jnr SA 2018 Charity

I am trying to get PR Worx DeskBags into the communities where desks are not available for students or where students go home to do homework and need to sit and work on the floor.

This unique tool for school going children not offers a durable bag but also provides a desk solution for use at school and at home. The DeskBag not only allows children to carry their books and stationery, but the

flap is reinforced with durable ABS plastic, that when folded open, allows for instant desk.

As DeskBags are made from recycled vinyl billboards, they come in a variety of colours and patterns to please even the most discerning little fashionista. DeskBags are made from waterproof materials, so there is no need to worry about books getting wet if children get caught in the rain. Furthermore, the bags come with reflective binding that allow children to be easily spotted when walking in the rain or dark.

Mimi, formally known as Happy Days, is a proudly South African brand. Locally-produced sanitary pads that are distributed among historically disadvantaged communities, to help keep girls in school.

Research shows that young girls are missing days at school during menstruation because the homes that they come from cannot afford to buy or provide them with clean, hygienic sanitary towels, each month. Rather than facing the discomfort of going to schools that do not have functioning ablution blocks for use during this time, girls elect to sit at home and go through the cycle using a banana leaf, tissue, or sit on top of a bucket filled with dirty water.
